295 Tucker Hill Rd, Norwich, VT 05055

In the small collection of magical spots in the Upper Valley, this Tucker Hill Sugarhouse in Norwich is among the very best. The recipe for the exceptional starts with the fundamental requirements of beautiful land, amazing views, and excellent location. On a south and westerly facing slope, the 50+ acre site enjoys exceptional privacy, dramatic long-range views, and immediate access to miles of recreational trails and class four roads and is a balanced mixture of open land, and northern hard and softwood forests. 15 minutes from Dartmouth College and downtown Hanover, NH, this classic maple sugarhouse was built in 1991 as a simple and stylish shelter in the regional vernacular. Abundant natural light flows into the wood frame, post and beam and scribed pine panel interior through the clerestory windows. Constructed on piers with the idea that it might later be moved and used as a guest house, the permitted septic system in place is designed for three bedrooms. An open concept kitchen, dining and living room with cathedral ceilings opens onto a deck facing the view. A first-floor bedroom is served by a ¾ bath with laundry and an open loft on the second floor provides for an additional sleeping area. A mudroom and post and beam shed provide storage. A dream on its own, as is, or as part of a larger more expansive plan down the road, this parcel and the experience it provides in today’s world is hard to describe in words. Come take a look for yourself.
